Support for System.Data.Odbc and niche database?

[Nicholas]

Hi, we're looking to integrate Telerik Reporting with a very niche sql database, SAP SQL Anywhere, on dotnet core.  The only way we can connect to that database in dotnet core is System.Data.Odbc and defining the ODBC Driver in the connection string.

Can Telerik Reporting support this method out of the box, or is there a way of writing some glue code to integrate Telerik Reporting with SAP SQL Anywhere?

Happy to answer any clarifying questions.

Appreciate your help.

Hi Nicholas,

Thank you for the provided information!

I confirm that the System.Data.Odbc data provider is supported by the SqlDataSource Component. As long as you can connect to the SAP SQL database with the ODBC data provider outside Reporting and the connection string is correct, you should also be able to connect from within the report.

For more information on how to connect with the SqlDataSource component and the supported data providers, please visit the SqlDataSource Component at a Glance - Telerik Reporting article.

Let me know if you have any additional questions.

Regards,
Dimitar
